You’ve probably heard his name or noticed his picture hanging in our lobby; you may even have read his book – but only because it was part of your Foundations homework and you wanted the darned certificate!  But if you’ve ever really wondered “Who is Ernest Holmes and why should I care!?!?”  (Or, “Are you kidding me?  Why is this book so hard to read?”)  Well, then, this class is for you!  We’ve extracted some of his best writing:  on war, on freedom, on addiction and healing and together we’ll explore this 19 th Century Mystic, the man, the myth, the legend!.  Most especially, we’ll talk about what these writings mean for those of us living in the real world of 2010!  Join us, and change your life!  $250 + texts. 10% off tuition for Center members. Seniors (65+) pay registration only; only $5 for anyone who has previously taken the class and has a certificate of completion. Foundations or Beyond Limits is a pre-requisite.
